EA rep told me "we have no plans to remove any games from The Vault at this time." Hedging, certainly, but there you go. DLC is not included but Acccess people get 10 percent off it and new titles.

I don't think it's a bad deal if you don't mind playing a vanilla best-of library. Got a new Xbox One? Get this and you have a few games to start with. It'll probably be bundled soon - 6 months free. $30 for a year of proven mainstream games may strike many as a bargain.

At $30 per year, I truly fear this is going to turn games into rapidly devolving teasers for DLC that will carry the majority of the game content.

It's like "free-to-play" with a guarantee you won't lose money.

Well we're already a good distance down that road!
